[QUOTE="Xyxox, post: 8911728, member: 16542"] In corporate speak, failure is not meeting revenue and profit expectatons. to an outsider, D&Done could look like a massive success and still be considered a massive failure due to the failure to meet the expectations. If the movie and the series both fail to be profitable, that alone could mark a failure in the brand even if subscriptions are at least close to expectations. Success or failure here are entirely dependent upon what has been presented as expected success internally. I've seen highly profitable product lines in a company shelved for no other reason than the line was not profitable enough or there was not enough volume to keep the investment in the product line going. In many cases, this is tied directly to rates of return in other markets because if a company can take the money invested in a specific profitable product and invest it in a security fund with limited risk for a better return, that profitable product is doomed [/QUOTE]
